36、e following sections areintended to be verified through actual testing performed by a recognizedthird party testing authority. The number of test samples specified for eachtest is the number of samples that are required to achieve compliance tothe test described therein.5.1 Leakage Test:5.1.1 Three

37、sample spouts are to be attached to the contain-ers filled to their normal capacity with water at 23 6 2C (756 3.6F). The spouts shall be secured to the container using atorque value indicated in Table 2.5.1.1.1 The containers are then to be placed in the invertedposition for 5 min.5.1.1.2 There sha

38、ll be no leakage.5.1.2 Using a compressed air source, apply a pressure of 69kPa (10 psi) and totally submerge in a suitable water bath atroom temperature for a period of 10 min. For plastic contain-ers, apply the pressure by inserting and securing an adapterthrough a drilled hole in a flat, heavy se

39、ction of the containerwall, not on a pinch-off or parting line. For metal containers,the pressure can be applied through a fitting affixed to thecontainer by soldering or welding.5.1.2.1 There shall be no leakage.5.2 Operation Test:5.2.1 After being checked for leakage, the water shall bepoured from

40、 each of the three systems into a 127 mm (5 in.)outside diameter, 165 mm (6.5 in.) high fuel tank with 38 mm(1.5 in.) diameter fill opening extending 1.89 mm (0.50 in.)above tank (see Fig. 1).5.2.2 Flow from each system shall cease before the test tankoverflows or when the spout is removed from the

41、tank (seeNote 3).NOTE 3During each “tank filling,” the system shall be withdrawnwhen the tank is approximately 50 % full. Gently tap the spout against theopening of the tank to remove any water which may adhere to the externalsurface. Verify that the system remains closed and sealed while still in t

Spoutsintended for use with containers of 9.46 L (5 gal) capacity orless shall be loaded at 11.3 kg (25 lb), containers over 9.46 L(2.5 gal) capacity shall be loaded at 22.7 kg (50 lb).5.4.3 The load is to be applied in a direction, which willyield worst case results.5.4.4 Following removal of th

46、e load, the system shall besubjected to the leakage test (see 5.1).5.4.5 Conduct the same tests (5.4.1-5.4.4) with three addi-tional systems cooled to 18 6 1C (0 6 1.8F).5.5 Cyclic Endurance Test:5.5.1 Three samples of the spout assembly shall be cycledfor 1000 times, as intended, using ASTM Referen

47、ce Fuel C inthe container, then subjected to the leakage and operation tests(5.1 and 5.2).NOTE 4One cycle consists of operating each movable part through itsfull range of motion and returned.5.5.2 Report any failures in operation.5.6 Spout Pull Test:5.6.1 A sample spout shall be connected to the con

48、tainer inaccordance with both the manufacturers instructions and withthe torque requirements outlined in the leakage test.TABLE 2 Torque RequirementsOuter Diameter of Closure Closing Torque, Nm (lb in.)Less than 51 mm (2 in.) 2.8 (25)51 mm (2 in.) and greater 5.6 (50)NOTEAll dimensions are in inches
